WELSH band Super Furry Animals has been named as the latest major act to play at the 10th Wakestock Festival this summer.

The Red Arrows will also be staging a newly choreographed flying display over Relentless Wakestock 2009 – Europe’s largest wakeboarding and music festival – in Abersoch.

Organisers are delighted to announce the latest additions to the line up for their extravaganza which already boasts New York dance sensation Moby, and The Zutons, in an increasingly exciting line-up.

Super Furry Animals will be joined by Marina and the Diamonds. This Welsh-born songstress and her band are set to be big in 2009 following the release of their debut single Obsessions earlier in the year.

In keeping with the Welsh theme, you can also look forward to performances from more local talent including Sibrydion, Dirty Goods and Ruth Kealy.

The RAF aerobatics team will be appearing on Friday, July 10.

The Red Arrows’ 2009 display looks set to be one of the most thrilling yet.

Wing Commander Jas Hawker said: “I’m not going to give too much away but our sequence this year contains some new manoeuvres which are going to be very exciting.”

The team is pleased to be returning to North Wales as part of its busy summer air display season.

In 2008, they appeared at Beaumaris and Bodelwyddan.

The Wakestock event will also be a chance for one of the pilots to perform at home.

Flight Lieutenant Dave Davies was born in Colwyn Bay and educated at Ysgol Bryn Elian.

Flt Lt Davies, 33, says: “Being in the Red Arrows is fantastic but to appear in front of my home crowd in North Wales will make this display extra special.” He is currently training in Greece.

Many of the Red Arrows’ pilots and support staff have recently returned from Afghanistan and Iraq and will be temporarily sent on operations overseas during their time with the Red Arrows.

As for the musical acts, Moby has 20 million album sales and The Zutons return to Abersoch for the second time after packing out the main arena in 2006.

Fans will also be able to see drum and bass stars Chase and Status featuring Plan B, Takura and Rage and Red Light Company.

A Wakestock Festival spokeswoman said: “Many more acts are still to be announced before the line-up for Wakestock’s 10th birthday is complete.

“Look out for information at www.wakestock.co.uk.”

Most of the artists confirmed for 2009 will be available to listen to by going to the playlist page online.

There will also be some extra playlists, including a Best of 10 Years list featuring performers since the festival began in 2000.

Past Relentless Wakestock champions Dan Nott and Brad Smeele have also compiled lists of who they like to listen to when they’re getting ready for a wakeboard session.
